An algorithm combining guided target and point obstacle based on a new local minimum judging criterion is specially designed, which can solve the local minimum problems encountered by the traditional APF. Experiments of real-time particle manipulation based on this algorithm are implemented and the experimental results show that the proposed approach can overcome the local minimum problems of the traditional APF method, and it is validated to be highly stable for intensive particle obstacles during LDEP manipulation.

文摘现有的基于磁共振测量的嗅觉刺激器,通过调节嗅剂液体浓度的方法可以实现不同浓度的嗅觉刺激,但随着实验进行,受到嗅剂挥发以及实验环境(温度、湿度、气流量)变化的影响,很难确保输送至鼻腔的嗅剂气体浓度的稳定性,进而影响实验结果的准确性.本研究对本实验室前期开发的嗅觉刺激装置进行改进,实现了气体浓度精确定量.改进后的嗅觉刺激器主要分为三个部分:控制系统、反馈系统和气路系统.控制系统主要实现气路系统的送气控制和嗅剂气体浓度调节;反馈系统则负责对气体浓度进行测量;气路系统则在原有基础上添加活性炭装置,降低无关因素干扰.装置改进之后,不同气路切换时间为75.2 ms,比原装置减少了1 s,有效提高刺激精度.实验结果显示,气体浓度调节前,300 s内乙醇、吡啶、乙酸戊酯嗅剂气体浓度分别下降6.7%、71.4%、79.2%,嗅剂气体浓度短时间内发生较大改变.加入气体浓度调节功能后,当气体浓度下降至目标浓度的90%时,可通过调节气泵电压改变嗅剂气流与空气气流比例,从而调节嗅剂气体浓度至目标值,其中吡啶、乙酸戊酯用时13 s.
